1 - This session features performances by a group of men, playing a tug-of-war and doing agriculture work in a field. All of the singing involves some form of call-and-response between the lead singer (not always identified) and chorus. Some of these performances can be heard on Caribbean Voyage: Grenada (Rounder 1728). [Source: Recordings and Field Log]
